Din Fart

I finally got a picture of a danish speed control sign:
So, this past week I went home to visit mormor and morfar, which was very nice. Mormor found my favorite type of pastry, and morfar fixed my skirt zipper and found a ton of tourist catalogs to help me figure out what I want to do with Kevin and Amanda when they come. Also, I got my mom's old bedspread in the mail; it is COVERED in red hearts, big and small, and thus is perfect for my room. So naturally I had to paint my nails to match. They look like hooker nails though, so I decided to enjoy the act of picking all the polish off. Plus I now have a really comfy new desk chair (also red) that Pernille is storing in my room for the semester.

I also bought myself some tiny roses :)
The other day I went in to spend an evening with Helle, and the best part was taking her new puppy for a walk. This is the view from the beach her house is on:
Anyway, my kiwi flatmate is home again, and he came bearing tons chocolate, and washed all the dishes and washed the floor. I like him already. I'll have to take pictures of the flat, Pernille and I had a lot of fun rearranging the furniture, so it is now much more cozy, and our flat has now become a favorite place for movie nights.

After spending the past month trying to find a cheap way to scan my passport so that I could get my scholarship money, I found out yesterday that Pernille has a scanner in her room, so now all is well and I can move on to figuring out other things. Like financial aid. Crap.

I miss speaking Danish. Even though I'm here, I speak English the majority of the time, but I suppose it will be easier to make Danish-speaking acquaintances once I start actual school (not until the END of feb, as it turns out...).

Last night, Pernille treated me and her other friend to a free movie (she works at the theater) so the three of us went and saw "Klovn," a Danish comedy based on a very popular TV show. It was like a more sexually charged, more explicit and inappropriate version of The Hangover, and even ended with a slide show of ridiculous pictures.

Some good news: I've put junk food behind me (until valentines day) and am starting to get the hang of feeding myself. Oh! I nearly forgot; I took a video of the sheep I walk by on the way to work: (yes, it really is on of the most exciting parts of my day)
